And, the image file is named "GRASS01.bmp" without the ""s. Am I supposed to be putting the image in a special folder? I right now have the image in two folders. It is in the Projects folder and a folder I created in the Projects folder. Should it not be there? Should it be there? What?

ARG. DBPRO STILL WILL NOT LOAD ANY IMAGES. NOT EVEN ONE. I TOOK THAT CODE YOU GAME ME, COPIED AND PASTED IT, AND THEN CHANGED THE FILE NAME TO MY GRASS01.BMP AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. IT STILL SAYS IT WAS UNABLE TO LOAD THE BITMAP ON LINE 3.. WHY? I mean, I really dont know why it does this. And if it is only the demo versions that do this, then, they made their demos BAD. If it is only my demo, then it has something wrong with it. But, it still does not work at all.

please dont start any more posts like this ok

if u have problems just be objective and clear with your question.

posting what source code u use helps greatly to get a result as long as its a small snippet identifying the problem.

good luck glad to help on images

no, you can find the link yourself, because I'm too lazy to find one for you
For BSPs you have to load the bsp file AND the Texture file/ The help on that command is adequate, but if you still can't figure it out, there are posts in the Noob section about it.

PS- It was apperantly your fault that the images weren't loading, so would you care to tell us what you were doing wrong, so if anyone else runs into this, this post might not be a total waste?

TY, and good luck.

What this says does not help me because when I do this and load it, it works fine but then it gives an error to DB and it has to shutdown. On Windows 98 it would say "THIS PROGRAM HAS PERFORMED AN ILLEGAL OPERATION AND WILL BE SHUT DOWN" but it doesnt do that for Windows XP. But this does not help me:

Quote: "LOAD BSP

This command will load a BSP world into the 3D scene. The BSP world automatically draws to the current
camera and cannot be rotated or repositioned. Culling, texturing and collision are all handled automatically
and through the related world commands. The first parameter allows you to specify a packed file
containing the BSP world files, normally a PAK or PK3 file. If the BSP world is not being loaded from a
packed file, this parameter should be an empty string. The second parameter is the BSP filename of the
world you wish to load. This file can either be contained within the specified packed file, or exist as a
standalone BSP file. If loading the BSP file as a standalone file, ensure the current directory contains any
files used by the BSP world.

SYNTAX
LOAD BSP PK3 Filename, BSP Filename

I do all that and it doesnt work, so.... And I only have the demo version of DB

I agree you shouldn't start a post like this.

Any external files you load have to be in the folder that your *.dba and *.dbpro file is in, and loaded through the blue media tag in the bottom right corner.

However I have said it b4 and will say it again, the DEMO version of DBPro is on some PCs unworkable and just plain useless. I couldn't load any image files accurately till I bought the full version and used patch 3.

Hope this helps. My only suggestion, if you ARE doing what I typed above is Buy the FULL version of DBPro, download the patch, and all should be well... as for BSPs, you might have less success, but this should b fixed soon
